Journal Entry

It was cold and snowy yesterday. We went to the temple for our 0730 Endowment Session. When we came out it was snowing pretty hard but we decided to try to go to breakfast at Aubergine Kitchen in Orem. The snow just kept getting worse so after a quick stop at Trader Joe's, we drove home and mostly stayed in the rest of the day.

Today is Sunday. I'm planning on going to choir practice then Cathy and I will go to church. Hopefully Sunday school will be as good as it was two weeks ago.

Come Follow Me 

Joseph Smith History 1:25 So it was with me. I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation.

"Once Joseph Smith received this knowledge, his life didn’t get easier. In fact, he was faced with intense pressure from peers and adults. Joseph Smith’s history provides an important pattern for each of us. We can apply his teachings when we don’t know what to do, when we are faced with peer pressure, when we feel surrounded by temptation, or feel unworthy or alone. We can pray!...

If you have ever felt the tug of peer pressure, pray, ask in faith, and listen to the Holy Ghost. Then live the gospel."
